Rating: 3/5 --
Great chemistry between the two great comic leads and some pretty decent one-liners but this doesn't manage to hold together as a feature-length concept.

Ross directs indulgently and no one seems to have noticed the sound of the voices, as though the participants had their hearing aids switched off.

Walter Matthau y George Burn reach that tragic emotion where the passage of time indicates the irreversible decline of things. [Full Review in Spanish]

Neil Simon's most irritating play is no less agonizing on the screen under Herbert Ross's sycophantic direction.

TV Guide
The Sunshine Boys is an extremely sensitive and lovable film version of Neil Simon's play, with Walter Matthau and George Burns outstanding in their starring roles as a pair of long-hostile vaudeville partners.

Rating: B --
It's generally an appealing and witty film because the leads are outstanding as cranks.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Walter Matthau and George Burns star in this outstanding Neil Simon comedy about a long-since-broken-up vaudeville comedy team named Lewis & Clark who are persuaded to reteam for a television special. However, these two cantankerous curmudgeons can't stand each other anymore, and their mutual crankiness produces both hilarious and heartwarming moments.
